    Stihl Flippy Cap solution

    Well I guess you could call that a flippy cap but it ain’t nothing like the over complicated Stihl flippy caps. I have operated some stuff with the Stihl flippy caps I supposed after you get used to it they ain’t so bad but I highly prefer a cap like Husqvarna uses, the flip up part makes a nice...

    How often do you clean your chainsaw air filter ?

    Well the person I talk to at the dealership seemed to know plenty but not what I really needed to know, showed a basket with about 5 different filters that supposedly fit the 562, one filter looked a lot like the one my saw came with they wanted $25 for that one. They didn’t seem to have any...

    How often do you clean your chainsaw air filter ?

    Once per season definitely wouldn’t be enough for my use. My old Husqvarna 61 air filter is still original but it’s also much easier to clean than the 562 filter. I’m probably going to stop by the dealer today and ask about a new filter and see what they recommend. But I’m still definitely...

    How often do you clean your chainsaw air filter ?

    Ace hardware as a Stihl dealer?

    Local Ace Hardware had a nice new Stihl battery operated chainsaw on display but the chain was installed backwards ! Not sure but I don’t think they have a chainsaw service department.

    Echo CS400 history and worthwhile addition?

    I am a CS400 owner , it’s very easy to start, cuts ok for a small saw but it’s nothing to brag about.

    Fiskars Maul and hookaroon question.

    I have 2 Fiskars, the big one is 8 pounds that’s the one I use the most and I really like it. The smaller one is a X27 it’s also a very nice tool for lighter work. Also have homemade pull type splitter that runs off tractor hydraulics, that mostly gets used for hard to split stuff . i don’t...

    How often do you tighten your chainsaw chain?

    I’m not a logger but do tighten the chain when ever it seems loose, usually check it when refilling the gas-oil or sharpening . Tightening a couple times per day seems pretty normal for me.

    New, Flat Scrench

    Nice enough but I don’t think it will ever be a big seller. The bar nuts on my Husqvarna 562 are not droppable and I love that very simple feature.

    Bar oil

    Seems to be plenty of bar oil available in my area, but the loggers sure are having a hard time selling wood for a decent price.

    Echo CS-3510 or CS-400

    I’ve owned a 400 for about 5 years, lightweight, easy to start, not to loud, pretty economically priced , it’s a nice saw for small jobs but if I was buying a new small saw it would probably be battery powered.

    Rebuilding Dad's 1980 Husqvarna 61 White top

    I have the exact same Husqvarna 61 bought new in about 1981, the biggest issue it ever had was the coils went bad once and were expensive to replace. When the clutch wore out I bought a nice used clutch for $10 from local dealer. Also because the saw was Pretty old and had so many hours on it I...

    It was a nice saw and ran nice but a friend that’s building a traveling chainsaw museum wanted to buy it so I sold it to him.
